[kictanet] Locales for over 100 African languages

[Dorcas Muthoni]

For those with passion for seeing Kikuyu, Dholuo, Kikamba, etc on your
computers, you cam join the group below:

>>

ANLoc, the African Network for Localization, has started an initiative
to build locales for over 100 African languages.  The project is now
ready to line up volunteers and get to work.

You can view a presentation about the initiative at:

http://kamusiproject.org/en/100locales

The main requirements for a volunteer are:

1) literate in the target language
2) comfortable using computers
3) can volunteer about 1 or 2 hours
4) finishes what they start

If you are willing and able to help, please look through these lists of
languages, and contact locales at africanlocalization.net if you can work
on one that does not yet have
a volunteer:

* West Africa: http://is.gd/3nJZ
* Nigeria: http://is.gd/3nKk
* Central Africa: http://is.gd/3nHO
* Tanzania and Indian Ocean: http://is.gd/3nJ7
* Great Lakes and Kenya: http://is.gd/3nGQ
* Horn of Africa: http://is.gd/3nJd
* Southern Africa: http://is.gd/3nJj

(Note that we do NOT need volunteers for South Africa, because those
languages already have good locales.)

You can also help by letting your colleagues from other African language
communities know about the project.

We want to build all of these locales in a few months, so please let me
know quickly if you can help out!

Thanks,
Martin Benjamin
